The State Agricultural Society Makes
Well-grOunded Charges Against
Governor Beaver.

At n special meeting of the members of
the state agricultural society, which was
well attended, President Wilhelm made
rather serious charges against Governor
Beaver. He asserted that before the bill
for the relief of the society was introduced
in the legislature the Governor had said he
would be favorable to its passage and that
If passed in both branches ii would receive
his approval-that there were no qualifica-
tions about it. He further said that the
governor had even urged several senators to
vote for the bill. 1t was also declared that
before the bill had passed both branches by
an almost unanimous vote the governor told
several members of the society that if any
constitutional objections were raised 10 the
approval of the bill, he would give the rep
resentatives of the society opportunity TO
be heard before him, that notwithstanding
all these expressions of approval of the bill,
and the promises made rs to the hearing in
case of constitutional objection 10 it, the
governor not only vetoed the bill, but vetoed
il among the first, without giving the officers
or any of the representatives of the society
any opportunity whatever of being heard.

Senator Cooper was in the city on Sat
urday calling ON the governor and other
state dignitaries. The senator is n strong be-
lever in political policy of an extra session
to consider revenue legislation, and has ex-
pressed an opinion that it will he called n
bout November. He, with many other re-
publicans, thinks the party will go into the
campaign seriously handicapped if the peo-
pie are not assured of special session TO
repair the wrong done by stranding of the

ton authorizing him To declare that the gov

CHICAGO, June 25.-Ealry this MORN
ing one of the employees of the Chicago
packing and provision company discov.
cred a fire in the tank room. In few
moments one Of the tanks exploded,
scattering burning lard over the ada

fires were soon burning. The destruc-

nearly complete, though the fire was
under control this evening. fourteen and
a-half hours after it started, the embers
are still smouldering. Loss, 1,250, 900.
The fact that no wind was blowing
when the fire started was Iobably the
only circumstance that saved the en-

persons seems to know the origiE OF
the fire.

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has rendered long and elab-
crate decision upon the fourth section
of the Interstate Commerce law which
prohibits q greater charge for the
transportation of passengers and prop
erty over shorter than over longer
distance in the same direction under
substantially the same circumstances
and condition. This has been the
knotty point OF the law, and the one
which has drawn forth the greatest
number of complaints from the rail-
roads. They haye claimed that it
was impossible to comply with the
terms of the fourth section in their lit
eral construction without disorganiza-
tion and loss. The Commission has
decided, in the FIRST place, that it can
neither abrogate this part Of law, nor
give it construction which will serve
as guide in all cases. Tie railroads
must fix their own scale of rates for
long and short distances at their own
risk, subject to accountability before
the Commission and the courts in
cases where complaint is made by in
terested parties, of violation of the
law. For the guidance of the rail-
roads, however, the Commission FORM
ulates its opinion that more may be
charged for the short than for the
long haul in cases where the railroads
have to meet competition by carriers
not subject to the act, and where
strict enforcement of the clause would
destroy competition. The decision
will help the railroads out for time,
but it is very probable that it will
soon precipitate o new avalanche of
complaints upon the Commission from
parties aggrieved by railroad discrimi-
nations.
